I'm going to import into multiple subforms.

I went through this: https://rolandd.com/support/ro-csvi/import-data-into-a-joomla-4-custom-fields-subform/likes

So for example:

Field: Program --> Main Subform
Fields:
- Date --> calendar field
- Sessions --> Subform Field

Field Sessions --> Subform with fields: Start Time, End Time, Session Title, Session Abstract, location, address map

I see this suggestion, but how would I do it with multiple subforms?

i tried again, putting " " around the abstracts, but I see the issue, since within the content is a ^, ths system is thinking that is the 'break for the new date'.

I can easily replace the ^ and add some kind of escape character to it... ideas?

I have attached my most recent test.

Can I change the subform separator to be multiple values? This will make it less likely to have a match within the content?

For example, set the subform row separator to: ^YUs then it will only 'separate' with those combination of characters?

This is a math website, so there are a lot of special characters within the abstracts...

Thanks,
Laura

I figured it out. I am using a 'dot' instead of a ^, and the import worked perfectly!

This ticket can be closed.

Thank you!
